Journaling Our Changes

“The only thing constant in life is change.”
Francois de la Rochefoucauld

Seasons change, people change and we have to change no matter how difficult it feels or seems. Of course we are all creatures of habit and change can be scary to us and the day to day rituals that we follow. In times when we need to make an adjustment and manage the fear that come with this, journaling can be a good tool to help us see clearly and to fortify our minds to the shifts that are taking place and the changes we need to make.

While scary, change can also be an exciting time in our lives. It offers an opportunity to start anew and perhaps to take a different path. Our journals can guide us along this new path and help to first create the necessary transformation in our minds. As we write our change, we affect the subliminal and subsequently the actions we need to take in order to make the changes.

In our journals we can explore all the questions we may have about changes. Some questions we may ask ourselves are: How will this change be beneficial to me? What will be different when I make this change? What are the risks involved? What is the process involved in making the change? Are there going to be tangible results? Hopefully, dealing with these issues in our journals will bring the clarity needed to move forward and to make intelligent decisions.

Journaling and life’s changes can go hand in hand.

Remember there is nothing like words in black and white to help you see where you are and where you are going.
